If they are struggling to kill them that's a nice thing imo It means headcrabs are decent. I don't want to let the humans win too easily

M2 accuracy is way to good, you can spray zombies down from 100m away
Spawn healing should stay as it is if there is only 1 zombie, the more zombies the less spawn healing they get i think
 
 

Chem Zombies need tweak in values. Chems explode point blank and the human doesn't take damage. At least, not much.
Just a thought. Great demo so far!

I'll investigate this, didn't notice this since my PC is good but it may be because of the outline effects. I will check that.
 
I'll check this too.

Little something about your self and why you think you're fit to be admin: I'm an old school (2009) player that wants to support this project. The main thing I can give is being active (for the foreseeable future) and having a good sense of justice, not being overly punishing while !slaping someone a few times and kicking if necessary. I'm only human and I have much to learn, my previous experiences were a while back, but I'm not afraid to ask for direction and learn from it. If you got any questions, happy to answer them.

I'm working on the "challenge" system at the moment. I'll unveil the details later although I've posted about it on discord
 
But anyway, if everything goes as fast as I would like, we'll probably have a new demo by the end of April. It may be sooner, or later.

Another quick update as of today 15/04/2021
 
DONE
- Masteries system (what once was called "challenges"), see below.
- Icon designs (well, I've got some of them in the game, Mansen is doing the others)
- Added the "sometimes I dream about cheese" and other voices for human players
- Added a few zombie skins and a few new guns
 
TODO
- Polish the masteries and make sure they all work (we will need a demo for this, I'm afraid ) + do a menu for displaying information about them
- Admin menu + fix the chat commands
- Headcrab fixes
- Minor fixes / changes
 
 
So, what are masteries ?
It's basically a weapon / zombie class levelling system. See, humans have to kill to get new guns, that's a vertical levelling. More kills = better guns.
With masteries it's an horizontal levelling. You can now improve every weapon to increase some of their stats (damage, firing rate, amount of ammo regen and such) and unlock a "unique" bonus, depending on the weapon (well,  some weapons currently share similar bonuses, but this could be changed later).
The same goes for the zombies. Each class can be improved to increase some stats (health, speed, damage etc) and they get a specific perk at the end.
The stats aren't changed that much, we're talking about small numbers. It's not supposed to be gamebreaking, but it will help players that have difficults getting new weapons or that would like to stick with specific ones.
Also, the stats increase and perks are weapon-dependent. You need to equip the weapon to have the stats and perks active.
 
Weapons and classes have a maximum of 5 levels. When getting a weapon or picking a zombie class for the first time, you start at level 1.
Levels aren't permanent, starting a new game/map will reset everything to zero. It's like a MOBA where you have to level up your character.
 
Earning XP is usually done by killing players, but for the sake of accessibility, it can also be earned through damaging others : damaging a player gives you a small amount of XP. Killing a player gives you a fixed amount of XP + the XP earned from damaging them.
Zombies can also earn XP by damaging/breaking func_breakable props (breakable walls, planks), and they get a few XP whenever a human dies.
It's still work in progress so this may change a bit, but you see the point.
 
Just a few examples of masteries, to give you an idea :
Usp45 : Lvl2 = precision increase, lvl3 = damage increase. lvl4 = more ammo from ammo regen, lvl 5 = heals you 5 HP when you kill a zombie
Mp5 : Lvl2 = Precision increase, lvl3 = firing rate increase, lvl4 = damage increase, lvl5 = You have a 15% damage resistance when infliction is over 75%
Zombie : Lvl2 = health increase, lvl3 = speed increase, lvl4 = propkill force increased, lvl5 = 30% chances to respawn on your death spot, maximum twice (this was in the original ZS but for some reason it got removed, so I brought it back here )
Fast Headcrab : lvl 2 & 3 = health increase, lvl4 = speed increase, lvl5 = perma regeneration (2HP / second)
 
When is the next demo ?
Hopefully soon
I wanted to do this at the end of the month but this is going to be tight, I'll post about it whenever the game will be ready for a demo.
 

Update as of today 09/02/2021 :
 
Done :
- "My Hats" menu is now done, you can equip the hats that you've bought / unequip them
- Reworked the zombie classes menu so that you can now choose a skin for the next time you respawn
- Skins and hat choices are saved between games (same will happen for titles and icons)
 
Next TODOs :
- Titles
- Icons probably later
- Achievements implementation + other upgrades to implement
 
My Hats menu :

 
Reworked Zombie classes menu :

 
Example skin for zombie (note : third person view is only for showcasing the skins, won't be an ingame feature !) :

 
Example skin for fast zombie :


 
 
 

Update as of today 21-01-2021 :
 
DONE :
- Buy button works, you can buy upgrades, hats and zombie skins (and other items when I add them)
- Upgrades are in progress but some of them are implemented and working (last man standing, lady luck, comeback, quick cure ...) I'll check the others one at a time after that.
- Hats are implemented, but you can't equip them for now (only bots can). This will be done with the MyZS menu.
- Zombie skins are WIP but I have done a quick test with one of them (screenshot below), it seems to work so I'll see with the other models, and add an option to equip/unequip skins.
 
TODO :
- MyZS / Inventory where you can select your hats, titles and other thingies
- Rework the zombie classes menu so you can choose a skin for your class for the next respawn
- Design the achievements / challenges system
 
Screenshots :
Hats (note that the headcrab model probably won't look like that, it's a replacement model in my Gmod, but I can eventually add it with the classic headcrab)

Hats menu

Sample zombie skin

 

Just a little update, I haven't had much time to work on ZS but here are some screenshots of the progress so far :
When you press F1, the Outpost menu opens (names will probably change, also icons aren't finished yet that's why there are copy/pastas )

Buttons on the left will open wiki pages that I will create later on (an in-game web browser will pop showing those pages).
My ZS will be the place where you can see your achievements, your upgrades, equip your hats and such.
Challenges isn't clearly defined yet but I'd like to have things like "Kill X zombies with weapon Y" and award achievements or something. I'll get back to you later on this.
 
Greenshop is almost done for upgrades and hats, the data you see here is pulled from the backend, I just need to plug the buy button to the backend service.


 
And yeah you see a Zombie Skins panel and Misc panel. For the former, I will have to do some tests with the new skins and see if they work. If they do I'll keep this tab. Misc will be for buying player icons but I havent' worked on that part yet, so it's still prone to be changed to something else.
 
 
So basically the next TODOS are :
- Plugging the buy button and make sure the green shop works fine
- Implement the actual upgrades (they're here but they don't do anything yet)
- See if zombie skins can be added
- Do the other windows (achievements etc)
 
 

Update time, a lot of things have been changed/fixed throughout the two demo weekends so I'll just put what has been done since then :
DONE :
- Added Crossbow weapon
- Fixed the BHOP fix which caused zombies to bounce when falling from high above
- Added a FOV slider in the options
- Fixed the looping weapon pickup notifications / reworked the notifications in general
- Small HUD tabs indicating the F keys for the different menus
 
TODO :
- F1 menu
- Fix the headcrab lags / broken jumps
- Add Greenshop / upgrades / unlockable stuff and such
 

Hell yeah Mr Darky
